Over the course of about 40+ years, these revenue tax stamps have changed form many times. Sometime the changes were very obvious to anyone, but other times they were minor enough to need a magnifying glass to see the slight variation. I hope this page is interesting for you and maybe even helps you narrow down or identify several of these state revenue stamps in your own collection. - Many of them are quite common, but a few are much harder to come by.
